The Mina cup is a menstruation cup designed especially for teens and first-time users as a practical, cost-effective solution to hygiene, while saving the environment. “Mina is softer, more flexible and easy to use. Our aim is to make sure that every girl gets a Mina cup, so she can stay in school for at least five years. We want to help girls own their 'womanity'", says Zaakira Mahomed, cofounder of the Mina Foundation.
The campaign will call to action 3000 donors (companies and/or individuals) to donate a minimum of R3000 towards the Mina Foundation. Its target is to make 9000 Mina cups which will be distributed to a thousand girls in each province in South Africa, more especially those who are underprivileged and cannot afford to purchase pads and tampons on a monthly basis.
“Through the 3000 For Change campaign, we want to be able to reach as many girls in our country, in our continent and the rest of the world,” adds Zaakira.
Companies and/or individuals interested in contributing towards the 3000 For Change campaign should contact Farah Fortune on 0745523785 or email az.oc.ratsnacirfa@haraf.
